She said:
‘You must tell me all about yourself. Your parents are dead, I believe?’
I told her that my father was dead, and my mother had married again.
‘Poor dear, poor dear, so you were all alone?’
I told her about Cousin Delia and Yearsly.
I said:
‘I was with her long before, after my father died.’
‘Ah, yes; and you had cousins there, to play with, I believe?’
I said:
‘Yes; two cousins—Guy and Hugo.’
